More BP claims being dismissed

A District Judge has dismissed several oil spill claims by people residing in Mexican states as well as Alabama cities because he believes they weren’t directly affected by the 2010 oil spill.

The judge told the Alabama cities to sue BP first for monetary compensation.The Mexican states were unable to produce documentation that their recovery process was authorized.

Additional claims made by Louisiana parishes have been thrown out as well. These claims were seeking damages for wildlife that were injured in the oil spill. Claims have become narrowed by District Judges involving the scope of the oil spill in order to eliminate several claims from the pretrial phase.
